Texans’ goals for preseason finale against 49ers

The Texans close preseason against San Francisco at NRG Stadium on Thursday.

“We would like to win,” coach Bill O’Brien said. “We want to (play) smart football, meaning don’t turn it over. Be good situationally, no line-of-scrimmage penalties, make sure that we don’t have a bunch of missed assignments.

“Make sure our special teams do a good job of tackling, protecting and trying to knock the ball loose. I think if we do those things, play smart on both sides of the ball, do a good job on third down, the red area and two-minute, hopefully, that means we win the game and then we feel pretty good about where we’re at after that game.”
